Silver Linings Australian Shepherds

Silver Linings Australian Shepherds, Australian shepherd breeders in Hopewell Junction, NY, serving Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley near Poughkeepsie. Heather Swik has raised Australian shepherds for over a decade, holding membership in the American Kennel Club and adhering to breed health testing.

Puppies grow up in a family household alongside other dogs and children, benefiting from daily socialization and early training. Breeding stock includes champions from pedigrees known for sound temperaments and working drive, reflecting a commitment to both form and function. Families note the dogs’ adaptability to busy homes and active lifestyles.

Each puppy receives microchip identification, veterinary health checks, and lifetime support on basic care questions. Adult dogs have access to a spacious five-acre setting bordered by pasture and forest, encouraging natural exercise. The kennel’s records document health clearances for hips and eyes, with follow-up guidance available throughout each dog’s life.
